Okay, I ran without "quiet" and let it go. It never hangs, just runs slower than slow.... The only error I saw was cdrom: open failed around the time is start looking at the volumes. Then starting at: INIT: version 2.85 booting it got really slow. "Staring udev:" was on the screen from 10:18:30 to 10:23:10. Over four and a half minutes! Everything from there on continued to be slow but I saw no errors. Total boot time was 16 minutes. Took another 10 minutes to shut down to be able to restart to the older working kernel. James
